scvbaritone Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 i would think that just about all of at least the top 6 may have at least 1. and im pretty sure that the corps that came from taipai had at least a few from other countries other then the US. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 semi-related to this question ... Didn't a lot of corps used to carry a flag at retreat for every nation from which they had a member? I think I remember seeing some US corps carrying Canadian, Japanese, and Dutch flags at retreat from time-to-time. Or am I crazy? I didn't notice any of that at Finals this year, though, but I guess maybe that was 'cause it was the only retreat of the season ... ?

Quickcheeses Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I heard bluecoats had a famale in their snare line from Japan <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Japanese, yes. FROM Japan, no. She's from Southern California, and speaks perfect English :). -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmcontra Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) In the Cavaliers' age-out line this year, they had two drummers from Japan, and it looked like there was a third in the line. Starting to wonder if Yamaha is sending drummers along with drums. Hehe. They also had someone from Japan in the guard and one guy from Italy who I believe played trumpet, and that was just the age-outs.

gottalovit Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Just wondering if anyone knows how these students find out about Drum Corps in the US? There are so many people here in the states that don't even know about it. It is fantastic to see so many members from other nations coming here to perform. Also wondering, are special arrangements made at corps camps for members coming in to audition, but do not speak any english? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohorns Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 They also had someone from Japan in the guard and one guy from Italy who I believe played trumpet, and that was just the age-outs. That guy from Italy played mello this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPHAN Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Phantom Regiment had kids from Japan, Great Britan and Holland this year. John Owen (aka Gene Kelly) speaks Japanese so he was a great help this year in more ways than one. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
